pending responses,what to do???

I do try to respond to my discussions first. But once in a while I get an idea in my head that just wants out. If that happens, I will post the new discussion first for fear that I may forget what I wanted to say. (Don't get old. lol)

Hello my friend riyasam Ji, I feel logically, on eis drifting away from one's primary duty by not making comments to all responders. It is to religiously duty to make comments. Eat , what one can digest. In my case, I just do not start discussions, in case, I do I make comments to all my responders. Also, at least in my friend circle, I always respond to tehir discussions, may be late as now. I have 119 Alert messages even now in my mail-box. I have reduced from more than 200 . But i will go as per conventions and ethics. May God bless You and have a great time.

I have a lot of unresolved discussions and am slowly trying to clear out one by one. Still I start new discussions whenever I get the time though not much these days as I am quite busy. I dont think there is any harm in starting new discussions when there are old unresolved ones.

thats what i have been doing.. i try to get around to the responses when i can but if i have an idea for a discussion i go ahead and post it before i forget it

It took me so long to figure out how to resolve my discussions that I will never catch up. I just do what I can when I have time.

Hi ya riyasam I have pages and pages of unresolved discussion riyasam but that isn't because I haven't had responses but because I have given out best responses! If I were you I wouldn't worry about it and just get on with starting new discussions. I am sure someone will respond to your discussions with no responses one day. Let me know which ones they are and I will see what I can do for you if you like!

I always respond to the most interesting responses to my discussions first and go to the others one by one.At times I come across some responses to which I may not be having the right responses.But coming back to them after some days has always helped me to come up with some good responses I liked myself.But I have to admit that I am finding it difficult to resolve a few responses forever.

I have a lot of unresolved in my file, I like to keep them at few months to make sure I have the best response - so, I just keep starting discussions

I don't understand... do you mean you have discussions with zero responses?... or you have a lot of unresolved discussions?... i checked the discussions you started... and most of them have responses...

I still start new discussions.then some days I go and try to resolve them all....catch up so to speak.....I don't feel guilty.I get to them when I have time.

Hi Riya, Don’t worry dear, earlier I had the habit of finishing old discussion then start a new one. Now I left that habit, you know sometimes we feel lazy to comment back because we have to repeat the same issue again and again. Do you know what I am doing now giving a break to my old discussions means the work of commenting is doing later? In the meantime if I feel to start some topic definitely I will start without any hesitation. I think many are doing the same here. The only thing is we should acknowledge the responses sooner or later and I think it is our responsibility too. Happy Dushera and have a great weekend.

riyasam hi well I am in the same situation and I too started some new discussions as its going to take forever as eleven months ago my life turned upside down and the stuff I had on mylot became the least of my worries as right then we were homeless and out of money,my son out of work, and he still is, and much as I love all my . friends I had to think of my own welfare right then.so now I have ten discussions that are almost a year old and have not been resolved plus my new ones.so all I can do is my best as all you can do is your best riyasam.

Whatever is your mood dear just follow it without feeling guilty at all. We live in a free world after all so whatever you feel like doing just do it! If you have a good idea then do post it immediately by all mean. Never mind the pending responses that you've not yet attended to. Those can wait anyway!

I think we all grapple wit the same issues. There are so many responses we have to take care off. It piles up by the day especially if you have many friends responding to your posts.I just do my best and respond. If there is a bright idea, I will post it.

Hi Riyasam. Don't bother too much about all this.AS long as we do have the motive to respond to discussions we would do it some time or the other.We are all friends here and we are not going to get angry with anyone if they start another discussion without commenting on ours first. I know for sure that you would not make a practice o f it by only starting discussions and not at all commenting.When we get a discussion topic in mind this does happen.I am conscius about it and diligently comment on most but I am sure some may get overlooked.We do tend to feel guilty .But you take your time.Dont worry ;don't get fettered by this .GO ahead and start discussions. bUT don't start 10 discussions.Then it may become high..

Resolving a discussion will take a backstage as it is in no hurry in resolving a discussion. There might be others who have not logged in to mylot and we give them chance to pen their views before resolving. While waiting to resolve discussions there is no harm in posting new discussions as time and tide waits for no man.

hi riyasam I have been in that spot and unlike some who think its just fine to only respond to some of the responses,I say that's really mean. think of it as turning your back on some mylotters to only those you like no that's wrong. do not start so darned many discussions you cannot comment back on them . In mylot terms I use comment back rather than respond back as its less confusing and the others know you mean commenting back on the responses you get on your discussions. Just take time out and do comment on all of t hem as its wrong to play favorites. and do not just say thanks thats no what mylot meands by commenting back. read it and give you opinion of the response. easy if you do not makeit complicated. I do not move on until I have commented back on all the response I have gotten. then start a new discussion or instead respond to other discussions. some do better just responding as they are too lazy to make the comments they should make.

i also have lots of unresolved discussions and still keeps creating new topics. i don't think we have to hurry in resolving a discussion especially if we feel that we can still get some more better responses that already been given. i prefer to resolve my discussions earlier if i feel any one of those responses perfectly satisfies my problem.
